A challenge

Our treks may stretch you just outside your comfort zone, allowing you to reconnect with the spirit you’re made of.

Team effort

Whitney (14,505′), or sleeping at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, backpacking our nation’s remote backcountry has the ability to change people’s lives. Our trails have had an incredibly positive impact on our family, friends and community. We hope it can have an equally positive impact on you, renewing conviction you can accomplish anything you put your mind to.
